Receiving notifications while viewing the map

WARNING

Do not read or reply to notifications while driving. If you do so, you could become distracted by the display, which could lead to an accident causing serious personal injury or death.

Before you can use this feature, your device must be connected to a supported phone running the Garmin Drive™ app (Pairing with Your Smartphone).

When you are viewing the map, new notifications appear in a map tool at the edge of the screen. If the device is moving, you must verify you are a passenger and not the driver before you can view notifications.

  • To ignore a notification, select Close or wait for the pop-up to expire.

    The pop-up closes, but the notification remains active on your phone.

  • To view a notification, select the notification text.
  • To listen to the notification, select Play Message.

    The device reads the notification using text-to-speech technology. This feature is not available for all languages.

  • To listen to the notification using a voice command, say Play Message.
    NOTE: This option is available only when the selected language supports the voice command feature and Voice command appears in the map tool.
